Good value and good performance. I have only a few minor reservation about the product. It's a bit difficult to clean under the blades and I would have liked the cap to fit in tighter to the lid to avoid some splooshes. Overall, I'm pleased with this blender.

Good value and good performance. I have only a few minor reservation about the product. It's a bit difficult to clean under the blades and I would have liked the cap to fit in tighter to the lid to avoid some splooshes. Overall, I'm pleased with this blender.

I wanted the vita mixer but didn't want to spend the $*** on a blender to make my morning smoothies. I ordered this one and it works fine for me. Crushes up ice easily and makes nice smoothies. Pretty happy with this blender and it looks nice too.

It does exactly what it should, every time. I use it every day for smoothies, no troubles, nothing but good things to say on performance
I'd read someone else mention they wished it was glass, but I like the hard plastic, I'm not afraid I'm going to shatter it on my kitchen floor :) Also saw someone mention that you cannot separate the blade from the jar, which I don't love, but it's raised high enough that you can clean under it, no problem.
Overall, I'd purchase this again without hesitation!

This blender is a monster - I've used it everyday since I got it a few weeks ago, upgrading from a not-so-Magic Bullet-esque type product from hotmess.com. Since then, I've made soups, smoothies, shakes, and blended ice. It's quick, fast, easy to clean and an overall no frills, super sexy beast. I look forward to a long life together. Def recommend.

I love this blender! It blends beautifully, and cuts up frozen fruit with ease. It's fast, and very easy to use and clean. The only negatives I have are that the lid is hard to deal with: the clear center comes off easily when pulled, and the lid itself is hard to remove - you really have to pull. The other is that it is pretty LOUD. It works great though, and I do recommend it for sure. :o)
